FAQs

How quickly should I seek legal advice?

As early as possible. Early legal advice can help protect your position, guide your response to investigators and reduce the risk of avoidable mistakes.

I have been asked to attend an interview under caution. What should I do?

Seek legal advice before attending or responding. An interview under caution can be a significant stage in an investigation. We can explain the process, advise you on your position, help you prepare and represent you during the interview.
